Answer 1

I had gone with the Gps method. With the following steps: On the click of start button, the latitude and longitude of the starting point were fetched and stored it in my dto with a proper TripId.

on the click of stop button :

TripDto dto = service.GetStartLatLong(TripIdA);
double lat = Double.valueOf(dto.getStartLati());
double lon = Double.valueOf(dto.getStartLongi());
Location locationa = new Location("point A");
locationa.setLatitude(lat);
locationa.setLongitude(lon);
double distance = location.distanceTo(locationa);

The distance returned by the location.distanceTo() method is in meters.
